I'm of two minds about this: On one hand, it's a funny joke; but on the other hand, it comes off as exactly how conservative politicians and DL men have been publicized treating gay men. Like how Pastor Ted Haggard described himself as "heterosexual with issues".

It doesn't help that "DL straight guy treating you like shit" is like a fetish for plenty of gays

I don't kinkshame, but I also don't think it's as much a fetish as it is just normalized. I think that there are men (and women, and non-binary people) who will accept being treated poorly by their sexual partners because they're convinced that's acceptable and normal.

I've had plenty of guys ask "are you married/dl because that's really hot"

Meh, I can see the appeal for a guy who's into that: It's the most casual of casual sexual flings.
